Stupid car...

After 47 posts on this blog and never missing a day, I have gone five days without writing anything. Work has consumed me for my ten hour daily shifts and left me exhausted with very sore feet and legs at the end of each day. I get home, eat and go straight to bed to get ready for the next days start. I have missed reading my favourite blogs each day and have spent this morning catching up on a weeks worth of postings.

Starting at 4.30 am to travel to work, I began on monday. Not being used to the constant walking on concrete my body was rebelling by the welcomed end of the day. After the shift remained a long walk to where my car was parked and upon arriving, to my horror the car wouldn't start, the key did not turn in the lock. I had an appointment at the doctors 45 minutes later and in desperation decided to walk to my lady's work to get her car.

I didn't realise how far that walk was on foot. 40 minutes later I arrived, legs and feet in pain. My lady rang the doctors and let them know I would be late. Long story short, 6pm saw me with pants down receiving my fortnightly injection of resperidone conte. The dose had been increased to 37.5 mg in a slow release mixture and to this point has alleviated the symptoms of my schizophrenia well this week.

The car's key lock is being repaired and I have another vehicle as a "loaner" so my transport woes have been corrected. I am enjoying my first day off giving my legs time to adjust to the rigours the work involves. All in all I am happy to be back earning an income. The effect on my self esteem is empowering. I just wish my legs and feet shared my new found optimism of the future...
